Abstract
[reaction: see text]. Synthesis of mitosane 1 in optically pure form is reported. A retrosynthetic plan that proceeds through racemic allylic alcohol 3 was carried out. This intermediate served as a test substrate for a rapid screen of a small library (152 members) of peptide-based kinetic resolution catalysts. Peptide 9 was found to effect kinetic resolution with k(rel) = 27. Alcohol (-)-3 was then converted to optically pure (-)-1 in eight steps.
